2024 Prague Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in September)
The ancient and romantic city of Prague is the capital city of the Czech Republic. The whole city has been listed as a World Heritage Site. It is known as the "City of a Thousand Spires" and an "Open Air Museum". With stone-paved roads, it feels as though this is a city where time stands still. The scenery remains practically unchanged from hundreds of years ago. This is a place full of music, art and literature. The city is suffused with a strong literary atmosphere. Friedrich Nietzsche said, "When I sought for a word to express music, I found Vienna; when I sought for a word to express mystery, only Prague came to my mind." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said "Prague is the prettiest gem in the stone crown of the world...". This is the birthplace of Franz Kafka and where Milan Kundera wrote “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”.

Just got back from an unforgettable solo vacation in Prague, and I’m still in awe of this city! 😍 Walking through the Old Town Square felt like stepping into a fairy tale, especially with the Astronomical Clock putting on its show every hour. I climbed the Old Town Hall Tower for around €10, and the views over the city were absolutely breathtaking! 🏰 You can see all those red rooftops and the spires of churches everywhere – it was like looking at a painting.
Charles Bridge was another highlight, even with the crowds. Early morning is the best time to visit if you want to enjoy it in peace. I spent hours wandering through Prague Castle (entrance around €16 for the full tour). The Gothic architecture of St. Vitus Cathedral is stunning, and Golden Lane is so charming with its tiny, colorful houses. 🏡 I also took a stroll through the historic Jewish Quarter and visited the old synagogues and cemetery – it was such a moving experience.
Prague has this magical atmosphere, with every street offering something new to discover. Plus, the beer is amazing and so affordable! 🍺 Already dreaming of my next visit. #trip #Prague #SoloTravel #CzechRepublic #CityViews #Wanderlust

Prague is an absolute dream! Wandering through its cobblestone streets, I felt like I had stepped into a storybook. The Gothic architecture, especially the stunning Prague Castle and the iconic Charles Bridge, is breathtaking. The astronomical clock in the Old Town Square is another must-see (and it’s free to enjoy!). Entry to the castle grounds was around 250 CZK (€10), and the views of the city were well worth it. After sightseeing, I loved exploring the cozy cafés and trying local Czech dishes. Prague has a perfect mix of history, beauty, and charm! #trip #PragueWonders #CzechAdventure #CityofSpires #TravelMagic #Wanderlust

#myitinerary
Just got back from a magical 3-day trip to Prague, and I’m still in awe of this beautiful city! 🇨🇿✨
**Day 1:** Kicked things off with a visit to Prague Castle. The views over the city from the castle were stunning, and wandering through the Old Royal Palace and St. Vitus Cathedral was like stepping back in time. I spent the afternoon strolling through the charming streets of Mala Strana, ending with a relaxing boat ride on the Vltava River. The evening was perfect with dinner at a cozy pub in Old Town Square, where I enjoyed some hearty Czech goulash. 🍺
**Day 2:** Spent the morning exploring the Astronomical Clock and Charles Bridge. The clock’s hourly show was a highlight, and the bridge, with its street performers and stunning views, was a great place to people-watch. In the afternoon, I visited the Jewish Quarter and took in the rich history of the synagogues and the Old Jewish Cemetery. Ended the day with a scenic tram ride to Petrin Hill for panoramic city views. 🌉
**Day 3:** Dedicated to exploring the quirky side of Prague with a visit to the Lennon Wall and the bizarre but fascinating Dancing House. I spent some time wandering through Wenceslas Square, soaking in the lively atmosphere.

Czech Republic: A Safe Travel Destination in Central Europe
The Czech Republic is known for its affordable prices compared to other European countries. The transportation system is convenient and inexpensive. Even hotel accommodations are reasonably priced, with double rooms costing around HKD 600 per night, and they often feature modern designs. The country also preserves many historical buildings, with the design of Prague's Central Train Station leaving a particularly strong impression on me. The locals are friendly, and most of them can communicate in English.
Prague | It turns out that fairy tale worlds really do exist
I think: if the fairy tale world really exists,
then it must be modeled after Prague.
This city that fits the imagination so well,
riding the red vintage tram,
feels like traveling through the European animations of childhood.
Brick-red roofs and markets,
the bells that chime every hour echo around the castle on the hilltop,
and every street and alley below in the town.
Churches, horse-drawn carriages, vintage cars,
the city center's Old Town Square is bustling,
in the little taverns, it seems as if a knight is sitting,
dreaming back to the classics like 'The Three Musketeers' and 'The Nutcracker'...

❤️ The Dancing House, Prague
#fallingseason
Dubbed The Dancing House, Prague’s Nationale-Nederlanden building was designed by Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić and Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry. The deconstructivist, or new-baroque, architecture forms the unusual dancing shape thanks to 99 concrete panels, each a different shape and dimension. The building's proved so popular that it now features on a gold 2,000 Czech koruna coin issued by the Czech National Bank.
The Controversy
The Dancing House in Prague was not an easy sell. The building is located in a city with a long and rich history, and many people were not happy about the new, modern building that was being built.
The traditional architecture of Prague is some of the most beautiful in the world, and many people felt that the Dancing House did not fit in with the rest of the city. There were even protests when the building was being built!
However, over time the Dancing House has become a true gem of Prague and is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city.
Why Visit the Dancing House?
The Dancing House is one of the most unique buildings in the world, and it is definitely worth a visit. The building was designed by world-famous architect Frank Gehry, and it is unlike any other building in Prague. The building is also home to several businesses and restaurants, so you can explore the inside of the building as well.

Praha, the city came from the oil painting
Praha, is a must visit city if you loves art. The building was very antique and beautiful, the people (but mostly you can see are tourists) very friendly and enjoy their lifestyle with no rush. They enjoyed music, enjoyed the foods, enjoyed the moment they had.
We spent one day at the old town Prague, all within walking distance and we have the traditions Pork knuckle at Pork’s restaurant (10/10 recommend, must go!)
All the building was so historical, all of them that only appeared in my history book now became real in my eyes
So glad that I have my best time at Prague with the best people here.
A step into the past.
The Charles bridge is an exciting step back into the past. I believe it’s not quite medieval but it’s there or there abouts.
Adorned in sculptures of saints the bridge sits over the Vlatava river which itself is a spectacular site to see.
The historic gateways just seem so at place in a Central European city like Prague.
On the edges of the gates you’ll find coffee shops and restaurants alike.
Along the bridge there are many artists and performers, and if you are lucky enough space for a selfie or two. #prague #charlesbridge #czechia #history
